In a move that should probably be contextualized by the fact he smokes around 81 blunts a day, Snoop Dogg has declared that he is giving up hip hop and launching a gospel career.

He told Billboard that 2018 will the year he enters the gospel genre as he prepares for a major rebrand.

“I have always wanted to try Gospel,” he said. “This may surprise some people but all I gotta say is get ready for some ‘good for your soul’ music in 2018!”

It comes after he released his reggae album Reincarnation in 2013 and adopted his Rastafarian-inspired stage name Snoop Lion. The Good Reverend Dogg, anyone?

In the interview he also opened up about his plans for the Christmas period.

“My family and I really just relax and enjoy time with each other,” Snoop added. “The year is always hectic for us so we just chill out. We don’t have any fancy traditions but our holiday is all about good food, good company, and good music.

“My family all comes together to help out but my wife, Boss Lady, always leads the way. She’s an amazing cook and pulls it all together for the holidays. We sometimes have family over to hit the BBQ as well. Nothing like a Dogg family Christmas meal!”

The rapper is no stranger to controversial announcements, back in November Snoop posted a photo on Instagram which sees him standing next to a dead man with a ‘Trump’ tag on his toe.

The image appears to be the final cover to Snoop’s upcoming album, Make American Crip Again.

As you will expect, the picture caused some controversy among Snoop’s Instagram followers, with some warning the rapper that his action might have consequences.

“Expect that phone call from big brother,” one said. “I don’t support trump. Doesn’t mean I want him dead,” said another.

Of course, there were plenty of people who supported Snoop, with one commenter saying: “Say what you will Right Wing Nuts… but that’s gangsta!!”

Oh well, I guess if the gospel thing is to be believed then he could be sacking that kind of shit in, in order to find God.

The long awaited album UNCONQUEREBEL by Hempress Sativa will be released on January 7th of 2017. With hits like “Fight for your Rights”, “Twisted Sheets”, and “Rock it inna Dance”, this album is sure to inspire.

Yilmie Williams or Iya Ingi, as he is more popularly known by his fans, hails from the community of Mona Common, St. Andrew Jamaica. It was there he got his first taste of the true Reggae and African music that now captivates and plays such an important role in his life. Iya credits his “Afro-Centric” music and state of mind to his father who is an avid activist in the 12 Tribes Rastafarian Organization. His father exposed him to the melodies, sounds, lyrics and mannerisms that helped to shape the strong, empowering, educational, inspirational, powerful and sometimes controversial lyrics that seek to shake up and unearth the core issues affecting African, Jamaican & Black people.

Iya Ingi breathed, slept and ate music, as discussed in his single Foundation. Inspired by his children to aspire for greatness, in the same way he looked up to his father, he wants to have the same lasting impact on not only his children but the many people of the world. His motivation, drive and eclectic blend of melodies and conscious, positive lyrics in his music has also been influenced by musical icons such as Jacob Miller, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and Freddy McGregor.

It is to no surprise that Iya’s energetic and captivating delivery as well as the musical content has taken roots with many and this has allowed him to tour America, Canada and Europe. Iya has also been afforded the opportunity to perform alongside other talented artistes such as Ken Boothe, Lutan Fyah, Demarco, Protoje and others. Currently, Iya Ingi is meticulously working on his debut album slated to be released in February 2016, titled African Pride, which includes the title track of the same name.

Iya purports that in his music he seeks to convey a message that will help to shape the thought processes of many and have a lasting impact on the future generations. This is not surprising as the name Iya, based on 12 Tribe and Rastafarian culture, means stepping higher and higher. Higher realms, higher heights of awareness, higher levels of consciousness, higher states of reality and life.
I YUUUTT!!!
